At MyMediTravel, we're making medical easy. You can search, compare, discuss, and book your medical all in one place. We open the door to the best medical providers worldwide, saving you time and energy along the way, and it's all for FREE, no hidden fees, and no price markups guaranteed. So what are you waiting for?
Stroke Rehabilitation is a non-invasive medical procedure that does not require surgery. This type of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation procedure / treatment is relatively affordable, especially in Malaysia. Mainly because the skill set and experience required by the specialist doesn't need to be as extensive as it may be for other procedures. For Stroke Rehabilitation, medical records, reports or any supporting documents may be required for the specialist to assess prior to the treatment.
Given the non-invasive nature of Stroke Rehabilitation, there is no downtime, so you won't need to consider your recovery and aftercare much. However, if a consultation leads on to surgery, then you should expect to follow that with an extended period of rest.
Depending on how many sessions or follow ups you require, you can expect to leave Malaysia immediately after. In most cases, the success of the outcome can be judged by yourself.
Malaysia is a rich culturally-oriented tourist destination and has a beautiful blend of modernization with a relaxed lifestyle. The population of the country is 32 Million people and Malaysia's economy ranks in the fourth position in terms of size in Southeast Asia, The electronics, automotive, and construction industries are the biggest industries in Malaysia. The capital is Kuala Lumpur and It is the country's largest urban area and is the cultural, commercial, and transportation center.
Today, Malaysia is a well-recognized country for its superior medical facilities at very affordable prices when compared to other major medical countries of the world. The Ministry of Finance predicts that the number of medical tourists will increase to over 2,000,000 million by 2020 largely due to the exemption of taxes on medical bills.
The cities that top the list of medical travel include Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Selangor, Sarawak, and Melaka. Statistics reveal that among the 1.2 million patients who have visited Malaysia for medical care in 2017, 600,000 alone were from Indonesia. The most-sought-after medical procedures are cosmetic surgery, Brazilian butt-lift, and dental surgery. Malaysia is a favorite destination among medical tourists globally for the following reasons.
Columbia Asia Extended Care Hospital, Selangor, Sunway Velocity Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Medical Centre, Selangor, are a few of the medical tourism hospitals with five-star ratings in this Country.
It is easy to see why tourists love Malaysia. Once you discover the magic the country has to offer, you will definitely want to revisit.
Some of the world-class cities that you need to visit are Malacca, Langkawi, Kuching, Spaden, Johar Bahru and Taiping.
Malaysia enjoys tropical weather year-round however due to its proximity to water the climate is often quite humid. Despite this, the weather is never too hot and temperatures range from a mild 20°C to 30°C average throughout the year; however, the highlands experience cooler temperatures
The best time to visit the east coast is from March to September as it is drier than the rest of Malaysia. November to August is the best time to visit the west coast as the heaviest showers are from September to October.
The Country has a well-developed transport network and efficient rail links which makes all travel around the country easy.
It is advisable to book domestic transport well in advance during the main festivals, such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Pusa and Hari Raya Haji. Domestic flights and domestic express bus services are often sold out weeks before these festivals. All the major cities in Malaysia have an airport and most budget airlines operate into the country.
Transportation in larger cities is good with many different means of transport. In Kuala Lumpur, there are buses, minibusses (bas-mini), taxis, pedicabs (trishaws), as well as trains.
In Malaysian towns and cities, various modes of transport are used, including ferry services. In cities, the rail network is a good way to get around, especially the KL Monorail and transit trains.
The residents of the following countries holding a valid passport are the ones required to apply for a Malaysian tourist visa. China, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Serbia, and Montenegro
All other nationalities will not need a visa to visit Malaysia. You will normally be given permission to stay for 3 months on arrival. Visas for longer stays or for non-tourist purposes must be obtained from the nearest Malaysian diplomatic mission before you travel.
The Malaysian authorities are running a vigorous campaign against illegal immigration. Don't overstay your visa, or violate the terms of entry. Even if you overstay for just a few days, you can be fined, detained, deported, and blacklisted. Flight costs will be the responsibility of the individual.

Marx Trot on sunday 13 July, starts at 2.30 archway tube…\
<note, May 2016, the next Marx Trot is planned for August 14, 2016. More details on this blog soon. This is just a date holder>
A day of revolutionary dawdling, pints, and ending up awash somewhere on Tottenham Court Rd… The annual Marx trot this year will be on Sunday 13 July. All welcome. Lal Salaam!
We will again be leaving from Archway tube 2:30 pm, then to Highgate Cemetery Marx's Grave about 3pm – heading across the Heath to the Lord Southampton pub which was the old man's local on Grafton Terrace – then onwards to Engels' house, then to the pub where the Manifesto was adopted by the Communist League, – now a crappy cocktail bar – and more… All welcome (kids could surely come for the first couple of hours – but warning, its a longish walk across the heath between Highgate and the Grafton Terrace House BYO libations for the first part).
[word to the wise: bring some tinnies in a bag – and sunscreen, umbrella as weather dictates and dosh for dinner (possibly in a footba-oriented venue). The early part of our route involves considerable walking – on the heath – kids are very welcome for the first few hours but after 7.00 it possibly gets a bit adult oriented – well, I mean we visit pubs Marx used to haunt – gespenst-like – in Soho. Mostly harmless, but its cup final night]
Previous trots = https://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2013/07/05/marx-trot-this-sunday-2-30-archway-tube-2/ and https://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/marx-trot-2012-july-7-2/and here: https://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/marx-trot-29-5-2011/
Pics of the houses: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/photo/london/index.htm
Other links:
The Great Windmill Street venue is where Liebknecht says the Manifesto was adopted by the League of the Just/German Workers Educational Association/Communist League – but some say it was at the White Hart in Dury Lane. In any case Marx lectures on Capital at Great Windmill Street, but see here:http://www.alphabetthreat.co.uk/pasttense/pdf/communistclub.pdf
For Leninists – a diversion on the trot might take in Charing Cross station, and areas near Kings Cross and Pentonville:http://sarahjyoung.com/site/2011/01/16/russians-in-london-lenin/

Good evening Mr. President and Staff, its hell out here and the innocent are being violated. You should start deploying soldiers in every city immediately to kill the chaos and save lives. Sincerely, Mr. Aware Good evening Mr. President and Staff, its hell out here and innocent are being violated. You should start deploying soldiers in every city immediately to kill the chaos and save lives. Sincerely, Mr. Aware Ban taxing people hard earned money. The poor need their money to survive. They barely make enough to survive Satan/kids needs to be dethroned and subdued. Let me show you how it is done! Sincerely, Mr. Anthony Ware Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal stands no chance of passing the Senate! The president is just a puppet for the central banking cartel. They rule the country and have since 1913. The Democratic party lost its roots when it disconnected with its blue-collar past Alexandria Cortez is another communist, socialist, humanist and labourist! If the Korean situation is resolved peacefully we can all thank Obama for his foreign policy wisdom Oprah for President? Why not? Oprah could breeze past Donald Trump in a presidential race Trump's policies are having a wonderful effect on other Governments. They are working together to build relationships that will assist in overcoming the coming recession. Democrats won in governors races in Virginia and New Jersey! When Trump is gone, the whole world will breathe a sigh of relief We don't need a bounty on reasons to impeach Trump, we need a Congress that is willing to impeach Trump!!! Hey trump. It's not the event planner. It's YOU! Nobody wants to waste their time seeing YOU! Where is Ivanka's place? - Her place is in the kitchen!!! Trump is so used to being the aggressive one in a handshake that he doesn't know what to do around another alpha male. This time Macron beats Trump at "hand jujitsu" Courage + Conviction + Moral Strength = Donald Trump The final lesson of Watergate for those in the White House is that even the most powerful office in the world is not necessarily powerful enough to prevent the truth from coming out. So the celebrating in the streets in New Jersey happened. We know this because we saw in on the nightly news feeds. Question is where were you? Were you in New Jersey to see this or were you in New York. There is proof you claimed to be both places. You might want to ask someone if you could be in two places at once. Evidently from your own words you don't know. A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader. You keeping talking about businesses over seas and American jobs screaming bring them home. Well why don't you close down all of your and you families foreign businesses. Put your money where your mouth is. President-elect Donald Trump tell me, what is a repeal and replacement of Obamacare likely to look like? Goodbye Obama, you will be missed! Trump speaks his mind and does not say many rumors that are not true. I like how he will make the wall to keep immigrants out Donald Trump would be the worst president ever! Obama will be missed! Vote Trump for our president! Long live America! Donald, you have to win this campaign! I won't vote for Hillary Clinton, and I won't vote for Donald Trump! It's because it's my vote, and I choose not to use it for them. I choose not to cooperate. If necessary, I'll abstain. Hillary Clinton declared a historic victory for women as she grasped the Democratic party nomination and the chance to become America's first female president! Congratulations! That moment when Obama DESTROYS Donald Trump...The look on Trump's face was priceless!!! Gun grab, around the Constitution? Bad idea. This Country does not succumb to tyranny. Your muslim brohood, will not prevail in the United States. So prepare to deal with them all by your little self when January 20, 2017 rolls around. God bless, because allah ain't gonna be there. So Iran doesn't mean "Death to America"???? The Republicans are the reason iran appears to be evil, and sneaky, and liars, and frauds, and phonies and corrupt and threatening, and provoking war?? Appears the real problem with Iran is they have sucked you into an absolutely ridiculous, unbelievable concession and will do what they please because you are an are the most incompetent person to ever get in the White House for the past 235 years. The blood of 4 more American patriots on your hands. 4 in Tennessee now and 4 in Benghazi. Well 8 that we know of. A 2 pound chicken (kerry) and a 50 pound fox (iran). I would say that is an accurate description of this iran giveaway. You are a low life. The lowest form of evil. How dare you bring your anti-American rant about gun control into the public, when South Carolina is trying to come together and heal from something evil invading their town. You are a blob of rejected DNA on the human food chain. You are worried Iran might liepace and cheat on your so called treaty deal? Are you even living in the same universe as the rest of us? Were you one of the stupid people the alien space ship dropped up and are laughing at us because they have no intention of coming back to get you.? Yes, the good World Leaders are snubbing you. You have proven yourself as a complete incompetent again, and again and again. Your muslim brotherhood ties are well documented as your attitude about Christians and your disrespect for Israel. You are a FAILURE. We all know it, but your narcissism will never allow you to realize it. Again we have a Police Officer assaulted and having to use deadly force. Again we have the stupid element that wants him fired and prosecuted. I have a solution: The next time you get mugged, robbed, assaulted, car jacked, burgled don't call the Police! You are to represent the people not your own demented ideas. How does a President not know that his Sec of State is not using a security e-mail account, assigned to her by the most secure technology in the world? Yet there was excellent communication and real time pictures when you photo oped the dispatching to he$$ of bin laden. How has the technology become so bad since that time that you have to read all the illegal activity of government in the paper. Government of which you are supposed to be President of? Oh I would like to sell you one of my Unicorns. I can even find a male with very feminine style for you. What a tiny, tiny world you reside in, the space between your ears that makes you call o-care a success. Lies more lies and more pr to try and impress yourself. We know you lie. Just curious. What ever made you think you were intelligent? Please contact the Government of Norway as they very specifically seem to know how to enforce their laws. You really, really, desperately, legally, morally and just intelligence wise need all the right kind of help you can get. You are not special. You are not brilliant. You are a traitor to the United States, and one that because of his ego doesn't even know that you are really, really stupid. The longer you are in office the more my first impression of you is verified. You do not have a clue about the law, the United States, or anything else for that matter. You are a complete and total roadkill stupid. That is actually being generous. If you are the smartest man in the room, it must be a very, very, tiny room. thanks for you savings on medical cover with your wonderful obamacare. It has saved me from having a net income increase of $44 in 2015 to an increase of "$2". You need to resign before you are kicked out and put on trial for treason...which you have committed many times. That and being a traitor. You have never followed through on your oath of office. Mr. President, How can you be considering taking us to war again when US women are not even fully recognized in our Constitution? It's long past time to ratify the ERA! I stand with President I got your back you and first Lady and thank for let live a black man in the White House and Family. I am so proud of you and he first family and you deserved a vacation Congress stay one. I rather prefer to say "Happy birthday, MR. PRESIDENT!! You are a PRESIDENT ordained by GOD! No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper! No lawsuit or impeachment contrived against you shall sustain! You are the PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT, doing the people's work. You are protected by ALMIGHTY GOD!! Your detractors shall perish in shame, and your name will be etched in the indelible annals of history as one of the greatest leaders to walk this earth, in Jesus' Holy Name, amen!" And I know that's what they're afraid of, and want to tarnish. But they will fail woefully!! Please Save Gaza... <3 <3 <3 If refugee status cannot be offered to all the children, then do not offer it at all. That is called discrimination. Anyway, we need to take care of the American children who currently live in poverty and are also at high risk. Cough Cough Cough??? Federal Law protects our right to fly that Flag. The law is Freedom To Fly HR 42 103 Section 3. So anyone who tries to impose on your rights is in violation of Federal Law. It is time for all of us to stand up and tell these little wanna be rulers to stuff their little rules and try to make us take down that flag. Under Freedom to Fly HR 42 103 Section 3. Federal Law. No one can forbid someone from flying the American Flag. Please pass this on to as many people as you can find. Everyone needs to know this. I think it is time for you to resign. You have done enough damage to the USA. This ILLEGAL immigration nightmare needs to STOP!! ALL ILLEGALS need to be DEPORTED. We have too many unemployed AMERICANS and way too much debt to be SUPPORTING people that are NOT our responsibility!!! I WILL NOT vote for anyone supporting amnesty!!! please leave now before you totally destroy America!!!!!! you are not eligible to be a president. Take a look at this and you have already know why. http://www.pressthepresident.com/show.jsp?articleadded=true&article=187621&newArticle=187621#0 President Obama Please dnew EPA regulations go through. It will kill jobs and skyrocket energy prices, my husband finally found a decent job, dont take his away from us, do not pass this bill. President Obama, Sir: I would like to apologize to you and your family for all that you have been subjected to during your tenure. I just want you to know that millions love you. appreciate you and are grateful for all you have done. Watching you, so graceful, seeming to enjoy all peoples. and your charming wife who works in the interest of children and our military personnel. make me proud to be an American. I am thankful to ser this before my demise. May God always bless you. Sincerely, Patricia C.Losey. email@example.com My World need Peace World Leaders work for Peace www.urdunewseurope.com because my daughter is a widow(53) and makes minimum wags she wasn.t able to get Medicaid or insurance. she only quaiifies for $!6.00 in food stamps.i'm on Social Security and have to help her buy groceries Please use your presidential power to raise the wages p 10.10hr Dear Berry, Pleas admit that your not born in the U. S. and you want to destroy our nation that you don't love. Mr. President! You're doing great job! Dear President Obama, I want my fellow us citizens to know that I think you ROCK!!! I know that there are a lot of kinks to work out with the new health care bill. Any changes this big take time to sort out. Please be patient fellow americans! Please do not be self centered. Think of how many Americans can now be receiving medical care. My husband and I both have masters degrees but have suffered from the recession. We have 2 young daughters age 5 and 7. We now have affordable healthcare and are grateful to President Obama for his work in healthcare reform. leave, go away, move.... For the sake of the future of our nation, please Mr. President retract the Affordable Care Act. Me. President, You are doing such a good job, The health issue is till pretty messed up but is being fixed. I live in Texas and I think we are prettry much screwed by our poloticians here keeping people from medicaid. I have it for now but may lose it later on when my disability check amount goes up one or two more times then I'm doomed. So I'm concerned about that not just for me but others. You see everytime we get an increase everything else goes up too, like rent. It's kind of a no win situation. I sure you know this. I think you will be known as the great one not because of the mistakes you've made but for the accomplishmnts you made. WOW Insurance. You did what know one else could and that's wonderful. Thank you Mr. Obama. i commend you for doing what you can, i just wish you had moe congress by your side. god luck and may you and your family have a very merry christmas Let's Fix the U.S. Economy! Speak out about the anti-gay laws in Russia! Enough Gun Talk – Let's Look At The Mental Health Crisis in the United States Given the circumstances, the Iran nuclear deal is phenomenal. The nuclear weapons had to come before human rights concerns. Now that we have a deal on nuclear weapons, use that leverage to pursue human rights issues. Obama is disappointment. Obamacare should have a chance. Don't let conservatives rule our lives. I don't care about Iran, i want health insurance. If you remove the word god from money & oaths, then you move closer to the constitution - seperation of church & state. IF YOU REMOVE THE WORD GOD FROM MONEY, OATHS THEN YOU HAVE MANAGED TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT OUR FOR FATHERS DIED FOR. GOOD GOING. I'M GLAD I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOU AT ALL Please go home Mr Obama. As a married woman of a USN (retired) veteran, you have done ZERO to ease our worries or problems. On the contrary you have made our lives a living hell. Either do your job or step down. We should ALL be treated the same under this horrible mistake that is Obamacare! I'm glad that the republicans are finally taking a stand! Republicans are fighting for EQUALITY!!! Republicans have gone mad. It's our fault, we have send those people to Congress. Let's close Washington DC! Finally, Obama shows some leadership. Ted Cruz is insane. Someone stop him, please. Good speech in UN, Mr President, but speech are words and nothing else. It's hard to believe that we are talking about government shutdown:IT'S CRAZY ObamaCare will save lives We are hostages of Republican stupidity Enough with Middle East, we have our own problems. ObamaCare has saved my life!!!! Even Michelle is against Barack Obama, isn't that enough? Where's chemical weapons evidence? Do not attack Syria, there's still room for diplomacy!

Quote of the Day - Copy nature and you infringe on the work of our Lord. Interpret nature and you are an artist.
Invest In An Internet Video Start-up And Get Sued
How Michael Eisner Avoided Liability
In yet another of a long line of cases involving copyright infringement, we now have the case of UMG Recordings v. Shelter Capital Group, where Universal Music Group attempted to get around the Digital Millenium Copyright Act by suing the investors in video-sharing case, with hints of Napster-like allegations. UMG sued Veoh, a web-sharing site for videos.
Unlike Napster, however, Veoh took all kinds of pains to ensure that it was not posting videos that were protected by copyright. In the Court's words, "Veoh also began developing an additional filtering method of its own, but in 2007 opted instead to adopt a third-party filtering solution produced by a company called Audible Magic. Audible Magic's technology takes audio "fingerprints" from video files and compares them to a database of copyrighted content provided by copyright holders. If a user attempts to upload a video that matches a fingerprint from Audible Magic's database of forbidden material, the video never becomes available for viewing."
That's a lot of effort, but it doesn't address the most interesting aspect of Universal's case against Veoh's investor.
That's right. Read that last line again. Universal sued Veoh's investors for vicarious infringement, contributory infringement and inducement of infringement. Gives a whole new meaning to being an angel investor, one of whom was Michael Eisner. The Court noted, "UMG argues, however, that ... "the [Investor] Defendants remain potentially liable for their related indirect infringement" because ... the Investor Defendants do not qualify as "service providers" who can receive DMCA safe harbor protection."
While the Court held that Veoh was protected by the DCMA for reasons noted in the opinion, it analyzed the contributory copyright infringement claim under the "site and facilities" test first announced in Fonovisa v. Cherry Auction, a test that was used to shut down Napster and hold one investor liable for the copyright infringment because that investor was able to control the start-up's funding, and directed its spending, holding significant power over Napster's operations.
Unlike Napster, however, Michael Eisner was not the only investor. The Court found that the three investors who were on Veoh's Board of Directors did not either singly or with the other investors, individually control Veoh's operations to the point that would make them liable to UMG.
Unfortunately for UMG, its Complaint did not make that allegation, and so the Court found that the "three investors individually acquiring one seat apiece is not the same as agreeing to operate as a unified entity to obtain and leverage majority control. Unless the three independent investors were on some level working in concert, then none of them actually had sufficient control over the Board to direct Veoh in the way UMG contends."
So, the lesson here is at least two-fold. Read the copyright cases beforehand and ensure that you know how to properly plead around these issues, and if you're an investor, make sure you're not the only one, and make sure you don't work together with the other investors to control your start-up.
And finally, just go ahead and pay Universal its fees to play its music.

Research Interests
I am currently working on the "growing up"- porject. One major goal of the "growing up" project is to compare developmental changes in bonobos and chimpanzees, to identify similarities and differences during their ontogeny, and relate this to corresponding information from modern humans. Choosing physiological markers (steroids like testosterone and DHEA, thyroid homrones, neopterin, klotho and IGFBP-3) and somatic traits (forearm length measures) that are representative for somatic growth, reproduction, and maintenance, supports the second major goal, to construct life history (LH) profiles of the two ape species. Adding published data from modern humans facilitates the third goal, the detection of LH traits of the last common ancestor of hominoid and hominid primates. The "growing up" project contributes to the existing information: Firstly, it is the first comparative study on the development of bonobos and chimpanzees that is based on a large data set from living individuals that can be transposed from cross-sectional into longitudinal analyses. Second, it includes multiple physiological markers, and combines these measures with data on somatic growth. Third, it includes extensive validation of physiological markers that had not yet been explored in nonhuman primates, or that had been measured in matrices that require invasive sampling. With these non-invasive methods, the project paves the way for elaborate studies of development and LH of apes living in natural environments.

Prunus x Patterson Pride
(new stock expected: fall of 2020)
Patterson Pride Plum is a fruit tree with weeping branches. This hybrid plant needs a wild plum tree for cross pollination before it can produce fruit. Patterson Pride's fruit is much larger and sweeter than other hardy plums, excellent for fresh eating, baking, jamming, and drying. A healthy tree grow ripe fruit in late summer and will not drop any fruit on the ground.
We recommend pairing Patterson Pride with Pembina Plum as these varieties cross pollinate well with each other.

Where does one start in the seemingly gargantuan goal of improving a communitys health? It is not much different from a personal journey to improve health. Both take some assessing, planning, prioritizing and action. They take time and commitment. They often involve collaboration. And they can feel overwhelming at first before breaking it down into doable steps.
When we want to improve our personal health, we often begin with some type of assessment. It can be a visit to the doctor where blood pressure, temperature, heart and lungs are checked and possibly a blood test or other tests are conducted. This information is all used to determine our level of health and if there are areas for improvement or better management.
You may have more than one area to improve with only resources to work on one. Medical staff members may offer suggestions for improving your future health based on research and experience. Armed with all this information, you then prioritize what areas of health you want to improve, what actions you will take and identify who might help. It may involve exercise, nutrition, medications, lifestyle changes, further education or other interventions.
Improving the health of a community takes a similar path. It usually begins with an assessment as well. Health indicators such as the rate of diabetes in particular populations, cavity rates among children and others provide insight into the health of the population as a whole.
With an assessment in hand, different evidence-based interventions can be considered in determining which would work best in our community and which have the highest likelihood of changing health outcomes. A health outcome, for example, could be a decline in rates of heart disease, obesity, smoking or an increase in women getting breast cancer screenings. Equipped with results of the assessment and most effective possible interventions, the community can prioritize what areas to focus on improving and action steps that can be taken.
In fact, that is where San Juan Basin Health is currently. We recently completed a Community Health and Capacity Assessment for La Plata and Archuleta counties. Mercy Regional Medical Center and Pagosa Springs Medical Center partnered with us on this crucial first step. The assessment is also a component in a statewide public health effort to improve health. San Juan Basin Health is developing a Public Health Improvement Plan. This plan will serve as a guide in helping us, in collaboration with others, target one to two health issues to focus on improving. This is in addition to continuing to provide our public health care services. Our region now has a Community Health Assessment that frames health issues facing La Plata and Archuleta counties. There are many ways healthcare groups, governmental entities and community agencies can also utilize this information as a framework and opportunity to improve health in our communities.
Improving ones own personal health and the health of a community are dynamic processes. To join us in this journey and learn more about your Community Health Assessment, visit www.sjbhd.org/communityhealth.
Joe Theine is director of the San Juan Basin Health Department.

?A strong private sector is crucial to broad based economic growth, and this is especially true to post conflict African states such as Liberia, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone as well as a host of others in Africa, ?says Hany Besada, a senior researcher and the head of the Development Corporation Program at the North-South Institute in Ottawa, Canada.
Through its research, the non-governmental institute supports, among others, global efforts to increase aid effectiveness, strengthen governance and accountability, and promote equitable trade and commercial relations.
According to Besada, ?the relationship between the private sector and post conflict African states are good and are constantly improving.?
That was not always the case.
Rough start
Socialism was the choice of many African independence leaders, and with it, a preference for government-managed enterprises and a command economy over private-owned businesses and a minimum of government regulation.
In some countries, private enterprise was linked to cronyism, corruption and even civil war. Over the past two decades, private sector actors have been involved in the illegal mining and transfer of blood diamonds in Sierra Leone, and in the illegal shipments of arms and soldiers in Ivory Coast and Liberia.
?This history,? Besada says,? still continues to hang over them, as governments and officials in the three countries at times are quick to point out the disastrous effects on the economies and the political stability given the private sector role and action during civil conflicts. ?
New efforts in post-conflict states
But African economies have grown particularly over the past decade, in part due to foreign investment and to increased support for private sector expansion.
Development institutes like Besada?s and the African Capacity Building Foundation (http://www.acbf-pact.org/) encourage good governance, broad-based economic growth and capacity building for both the private sector and government.
Besada says that?s true of Liberia and other countries in West Africa.
?Shortly after the election of Johnson Sirleaf as President of Liberia,? says Besada, ?she declared the private sector?s involvement would need to be integral to Liberia?s rehabilitation.?
He says her government inherited a budget of less than $ [US] 100 million in 2006 sharply down from the pre-coup national budget of $ [US] 600 million in 1980. Sirleaf was forced to raise capital and resources for reconstruction, including the revival of privately-owned businesses, especially in mining, agriculture, rubber production, and logging.
The story is similar in Sierra Leone, which is rebuilding from decades of civil war. The government there is working to attract foreign investment, in part with a program that aims to privatize many state owned enterprises and spur economic growth.
Besada says it?s the cornerstone of its strategy for national development which in time will reduce the role of government in the economy, and encourage local businesses to create jobs.
In Cote d?Ivoire, there have been a number of changes to the country?s business regulations. Goods and services that are manufactured and conducted in free trade zones are now exempt from all import and export duties.
Taxes in the zones are extremely low, with numerous rebates based on local employment and reinvestment. Foreign and local investors are now exempt from the national value added tax on electricity, water, and petroleum consumption. They are also protected by law from nationalization, and they face no restrictions on ownership.
?These kinds of measures reflect post conflict African states? eagerness to work with the private sector,? says Besada.
In the past few years, private entrepreneurship has helped other economies take off.
In Kenya, according to Besada, ?Mpesa,? the country?s first mobile banking service network, directly led to the creation of over 7,000 enterprises and 12,000 jobs. The subsequent increase in access to financial services is also likely to have generated many jobs indirectly.
In Namibia, Besada says, ?Namdeb, the diamond operation based on a partnership between the government and De Beers, accounts for more than 10% of the country?s gross national product.
In Botswana, Besada says ?private sector investment has helped transform the country from one of the poorest countries in Africa, to a middle income country.
He also points out that South Africa?s business involvement in the rest of the continent had a marked effect in terms of structure to the labor market, more specifically on wage levels and job creation.
In Mozambique, Besada says ?the entry of South African companies into the job market has had a striking impact on wage structure. The highest paid labor group in the country is the skilled workers at the Mozal smelter. Today, the lowest paid worker earns $4,000 there, which is 10 times the minimum wage. ?
Injecting needed capital
The domestic private sector needs lots of financial support to grow and flourish particularly in post conflict states. Besada points out that foreign investments help inject needed capital in the local economy that are made available for local investments later on. It?s a trickle effect, says Besada, that also helps promote skills transfer and increases productivity levels.
Two important investors in Africa are India and China.
India?s investments on the continent are largely driven by its private sector. Besada says India is keen to move away from formal arrangements between governments and is focusing more on local partnerships through the exchange of managers and skilled laborers.
China, Besada says, has helped promote skills transfer in Africa, including in Egypt?s manufacturing sector and Zambia?s mining sector.
However, Beijing has been the focus of criticism. African governments criticize China for supplying its own manpower in African projects, rather than using local workers. Some says it also drives African retailers out of business with cheaply made goods imported from China.
Beijing has begun to react to some of these criticisms. Over the past few years, Beijing has pumped millions of dollars into African industries geared to serve markets in the EU and the United States.
Using the provisions of the EU?s Cotonou Agreement and the US African Growth and Opportunity Act, Chinese investors have established joint ventures with local investors to produce goods for exports at concessional rates.
The Chinese are especially involved in agriculture, agro-business, textiles, and light manufacturing. In the process, says Besada, they are helping to build local capacity, boost technology transfers, and raise the export levels of dozens of Africa economies.
Besada says traders from Asia, and the Middle East have been in coastal Africa for decades, though they have at times been driven from the continent. Some African leaders accused them of not sharing skills, or wealth, with the African business community.
As a result, today, Lebanese traders in West Africa are partnership more with local investors while Indian investors in East Africa are using more local workers as part of their work forces while wages levels are increasing.

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
The sketch is too busy talking to listen.Try this - press & hold the reset button. Start the download - when the sketch says "downloading xxxx of xxxx bytes" release the reset - this will let the bootloader sync with the IDE.
Did you use the Arduino IDE to install the bootloader?If yes, which board did you have selected?
Now that I think about it, I think I used avrdude to install it.
Did you set the "lock bits"?
If I use USBtinyISP to burn the bootloader from the IDE, does it select the .hex file to use based on the IDE:Board setting
or is there an additional dialog where you set that?
From your comments, I presume it takes care of all the fiddly-bits as well?
Yes. If you'd like the details, the mapping from menu selection to .hex file is in a file named "boards.txt".
It always has for me. Which is why I use the IDE (brain ... overloading ... on ... fiddly-bits !!!).
Nice! Now you can fiddle with the application instead of the tools!

LEDs make it cheaper to blind family and friends
The government wants you to save energy this summer because of the mess they've made up in Fukushima. The request is for you to reduce your consumption of electricity by 15 percent. Just in time for this setsuden (electricity reduction) season, the price of LED lamps is coming down. When LEDs first appeared on the market in 2009 the average price of a bulb was ¥3,827, according to the Light Bulb Manufacturers Association. The average price as of March was ¥2,274. Moreover, discount stores like Aeon and Don Quijote sell the 60-watt types for about ¥1,650.
Of course, when you say "60-watt type" you have to qualify the designation, since a 60-watt type LED does not, in fact, use 60 watts. Neither does a fluorescent bulb with that designation, which is still used because consumers are conditioned to think of a bulb's brightness in terms of wattage, since that's how you measured relative brightness with incandescent bulbs: the more power, the brighter the illumination. The same goes for fluorescents and LEDs but the proportions are much different, making comparisons almost pointless. For instance, a 60-watt type LED uses about one-eighth the power that a 60-watt incandescent bulb uses, but the brightness in terms of lumens is about half. The light bulb industry would prefer that you choose a bulb based on lumens, since the "XX-watt-type" designation is basically meaningless in the LED age.

Press Release:
Comic-Con to Stay in San Diego
Organization considered other California cities to accommodate growing demand
San Diego – Comic-Con International: San Diego (Comic-Con), the largest comics convention of its kind in the world, today announced it will be staying in San Diego for the foreseeable future.
Comic-Con reached a self-imposed attendance limit at the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) in 2007 and has had to cap attendance at approximately 125,000 people each year since. In looking at ways to better accommodate the growing demand from attendees and exhibitors, the nonprofit organization considered proposals for a move to larger facilities in Los Angeles or Anaheim after the expiration of its SDCC lease in 2012. This decision keeps Comic-Con in San Diego through 2015.
"We are grateful for the tireless efforts all three cities put into to their proposals," said David Glanzer, Comic-Con's director of marketing and public relations. "In the end, we feel this decision is the best for all those who attend Comic-Con and for the organization itself. We are happy that the community has worked with us to ensure that we remain here."
Comic-Con was first held in 1970 at the U.S. Grant Hotel, where it attracted 300 people. As the event grew, subsequent homes included the downtown El Cortez Hotel in the 1970s and the San Diego Convention and Performing Arts Center in the 1980s. Comic-Con moved to the then newly built SDCC in 1991. Comic-Con celebrated its 41st year in 2010.
The San Diego Convention Center Corporation has scheduled a press conference for Friday, October 1 at 11:45 a.m. at Lobby E of the convention center.
About Comic-Con International:
Comic-Con International: San Diego (Comic-Con), the largest convention of its kind in the world, is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of, and appreciation for, comics and related popular artforms, primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contribution of comics to art and culture. In addition to its San Diego convention each summer, Comic-Con organizes the San Francisco–based WonderCon each spring and Alternative Press Expo each fall.

Deja-view: Wynnewood seems familiar
ADDRESS: 240 Warren Street
NEIGHBORHOOD: Scottsville
SIZE: 2930 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 1.757 acres
CURB APPEAL: 9 out of 10
LISTED BY: James Kerlin and Pat Pitts of A. Scott Ward Realty Inc. 286-2022
We here at On the Block have been reviewing a house a week for almost four years, so we hope we can be forgiven for sometimes feeling that we've seen every possible variation of floor plan, bathroom and kitchen design, and garden layout.
When we looked under the eaves of this old house in Scottsville, for instance, we flashed back to a house we visited on Pine Garth Run that had formerly been a hunting lodge. Like the renovators of that place, the owners who added on to the original 1850 portion here just hoisted the new roof up and over an existing back porch. Open a little door in one upstairs bedroom, and there sits the original porch roof, now surrounded by flooring for storage.
Other things about the house are familiar: bookcases covering one wall of the living room are like those in a house on Rugby Avenue; a warm sunroom off the kitchen offering views of an expansive garden and fishpond set us thinking of "New Hadden" on Taylor's Gap Road; steps from the upstairs landing leading to two bedrooms are the same as a set in a First Street house; and a neat little tiled bathroom tucked under the stairs is like those in many old houses where bathroom space has had to be invented (because the originals were outside).
But some things about this history-rich place are unique in our experience. For instance, we've never seen a free-standing claw-foot bathtub practically in the middle of a master bedroom– and off the entrance hall, at that! The owner says she got the idea from a bed and breakfast, and while having a big bedroom right inside the front door may have been a good idea there, it will be a very special buyer who wants to soap up in front of a front-porch window.
But that's the only slightly screwy aspect of this property, which has many other endearing elements: gorgeous wide heart-pine floors, six-over-six windows for maximum light, original mantels (one topped by a mirror) over the two original coal-burning fireplaces on the first floor (neither working, unfortunately), and the wide two-story front porch.
The layout of the house is hard to describe because of the way additions were attached. Today's kitchen is in the same place as the original "summer kitchen" that was connected to the house by an open breezeway. (That space is now a bright family room joining the kitchen to the original house.)
The exterior of the 1850 house is visible in that room and in several other places inside, and an even more unusual feature is a wall between the kitchen and laundry room made from an old barn at the Enniscorthy estate. Painted a dark green, the rough-hewn planks will either thrill or dismay a new owner.
The house next door sheltered the Union General Philip Sheridan during the Civil War, and his troops spread out to camp in the yard of this house. The back yard– maybe where the Yanks bedded down– stretches all the way to Route 20, but the road is invisible and inaudible, separated from the house by a large stand of bamboo. (Lest nervous gardeners fret about this Asian wonder taking over the yard, the owners report no problems since its isolated position makes upstart shoots easy to annihilate.)
Also on the almost-two-acre parcel is a pretty perennial garden near the house, a large asphalt driveway and two-car garage (far enough away to blunt the effect of all that black), several pens for animals (currently goats), and chicken coops. While the house is served by town water, there's also a well and pump for outdoor use. In short, counting the gas-fired stove in the family room, "Wynnewood" offers everything one needs to be self-sustaining, a not inconsiderable benefit in these parlous times.
Quirky free-range bathtub notwithstanding, this cozy old house could be ideal for a family seeking country pleasures in a charming little town only 25 minutes down Route 20– with almost all the important systems (metal roof, AC, furnace) recently upgraded. All the pleasures of the James River– within easy walking distance and visible from an upstairs bedroom– should recommend it to a sporting family, and the history, grand kitchen, and beautiful details will appeal to any sophisticated hostess.
While we've seen many houses over the years, rarely have we seen one that fills so many bills at once.

'See one, practise on a simulator, do one' - the mantra of the modern surgeon
J. I. Curry
M.B. B.S., F.R.C.S. (eng.), F.R.C.S. (paed. Surg.); Consultant Paediatric Surgeon, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London
Minimally invasive techniques are now well established in paediatric surgery. Training has traditionally been based on an apprenticeship model, as for open surgery. More recently the constraints of litigation, finance and restriction of doctors' working hours have led to a need to rethink this training. Simulation to learn and improve skills is by no means a new concept, but has been suggested as a way to address the above issues because it provides an ideal platform for acquiring the necessary skills for modern laparoscopic surgery. This paper explores some of the current issues of learning minimally invasive surgical skills in a simulated environment, and suggests that such simulation should not be seen in isolation but as a part of a wider and encompassing curriculum of learning for the 21st-century surgeon.

Wassup y'all?
Now that we know the "He-Ro, Son of He-Man / King Adam" era is available for MOTUC, and that Mattel obviously have a plan to include them in the line (hence the Evil-Lyn/Skeletor's son mention), I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can discuss a few possibilities regarding the wave of figures from that era.
A few interesting points of speculation would be -
01) Who are Dare's (He-Ro's) real parents going to turn out to be? Since many speculated that Evil Lyn and Skeletor werehis parents, and TG has stated that this is not to be the case...the most obvious answer would be Adora and SeaHawk...this makes sense from the He-Ro bible, where it states that he is part of the King Adam bloodline. But are there any other possibilities?
02) Is Dare actually a young He-Ro from Preternia? Based on the amount of time travelling involved it would certainly be a possibility. All we know about He-Ro (from Preternia) is that he was sent there by Trollans(?) and had somekind of connection with a tecno-virus in which he was cured in a lake..but it is never specified exactly where he was sent "from". My guess is the 2 He-Ro's are the same person. (Also anyone who knows the Cable from X-Men story can see some links here). Finally, why did Adam need to become Pre-Eternian disguesed unless it was possible his future adopted son (He-Ro) might recognise him? Anyway, feel free to discuss this possibility
03)Kay-La = Fisto's daughter? She is Teela's cousin, and with the 200x series having the whole Fisto possible has a daughter sub-plot...this makes sense does it not?
04) Man-E-Faces takes on a more "Mime" like persona...maybe Battleground Man E Faces possibility?
05) Slob-Boar, one of Skeletor's new henchmen. Would actually be the right age to be a grown up "Pig Boy" from the motion picture. Perhaps his Bio could make a cheeky reference to that to avoid any possible legal issues?
06) Ram Man's cool Battleground look? His new Black and Blue armor?
07) MerMan's slightly evolved look?
08) Odar - Skeletor's villain...probably could just be Stinkor (real name Odiphus after all, close enough shortening of name)...no need for 2 skunks is there?
Sure there are many more things to discuss, but I thought I'd put all the possibilities that I'd been thinking about in a single place to see what other's think
(Probably best not to post anything if you don't like the concept of the "Son of He-Man era" being introduced into MOUC as the thread might ge bogged down...so best only to join in if you like the idea) (though, I'm sure many don't)

Luther's writings and his theses, which he published in Wittenberg in 1517, changed the religious world order for good. Even though, 500 years later, the Luther Trail snakes through five German federal states, it is in Saxony-Anhalt where pilgrims feel particularly close to Martin Luther the man, the monk and later reformer.
Figuratively speaking, it caused an earthquake and led to a schism in the church, but this was not what the professor of theology had planned. Luther wrote the theses that triggered the Reformation movement in Wittenberg. He settled there as a monk in 1508, living in the town with his family. He was also buried there when he died, in the place where he attracted the world's attention in 1517: the All Saints' Church. Wittenberg is now home to the world's largest museum dedicated to the history of the Reformation. When visitors enter Luther's Room, they could be forgiven for thinking he had just stepped outside for a moment...
Yet Wittenberg is just one of many stops on the Luther Trail through Saxony-Anhalt, which takes hikers north to begin with, and also has a route heading south. Pilgrims pass churches and take in Dessau, Eisleben (the reformer's home town, where visitors can see Luther memorial sites as well as the original font where Luther was baptised by the altar in the church) and Mansfeld, on the route which originally heads north.
Pilgrims can also find their way to Eisleben and Mansfeld on the southern route via Bitterfeld-Wolfen, where Luther was laid in state in the Old Chapel of the town's Protestant church on his last journey. The route then leads to Halle (Saale), a city devoted to Luther's heritage. This pilgrimage route includes many religious and spiritual moments and places where you can emulate Luther in other respects, for instance in Höhnstedt, where he wrote to his wife: "But here the wine is pure."
Total length of route: approx. 410 km
Route to the north via Coswig, then further south towards Dessau, Bernburg, Wettin, Eisleben and Mansfeld-Lutherstadt
Route to the south via Düben Heath Nature Park, Bitterfeld-Wolfen and Halle (Saale) to Eisleben and Mansfeld-Lutherstadt
Pilgrim hostels along the route?: Yes
Starts: Wittenberg
Ends: Mansfeld-Lutherstadt
Arrival options: Wittenberg Central Station
Departure options: Mansfeld
About the route: signposted with an "L"; pilgrims and hikers can start the route at any point along the circular trail

OrthodoxWiki talk:Style Manual
Using "Saint" with saint names
Since we are all Orthodox here, should we not always refer to Saints with the word Saint proceding their name? I think it would be proper. 220.127.116.11 11:03, 23 Dec 2004 (CST)
- That can be taken care of in the body of the article. Not only would it mess with alphabetization and searching to have every article name for a saint start with "saint," but there would also be potential issues with regard to which form we use: Saint, St., St, S. or S (all are currently in use in English convention). Additionally, there are potential quibbles over which persons are considered saints or not (Augustine of Hippo, Saint Augustine of Hippo, or Blessed Augustine of Hippo). Not using "saint" for article titles also means that moving articles will be lessened should a person already with an article be declared a saint. The note can simply be made in the article body. --Rdr. Andrew
"Catholic" Churches
Surely in an Orthodox context RC churches should be designated "Roman Catholic" and not simply "Catholic"?
- In most cases, that is the protocol being used. However, especially when referring to some of the smaller bodies within the RCC, referring to them as (e.g.) the Syrian Roman Catholic Church (rather than simply Syrian Catholic Church) could be misleading -- for one thing, most Eastern Rite (Roman) Catholics explicitly do not use Roman to describe themselves. Further, the use of Roman in those cases might mislead one to think that such churches were using the Latin Rite, which most are not. The relevant articles will certainly make explicit that such churches are subject to the Vatican. --Rdr. Andrew
Excellent work Reader Andrew! - FrJohn 23:27, 2 Jan 2005 (CST)

Hulu Isn't for Sale — Yet. But Buyers Are Asking …
Two years ago, Hulu's corporate owners put the video site up for sale — and then took it off the block.
New version of a similar story: Hulu's corporate owners still aren't sure what they want to do with the site. But they are starting to hear from would-be buyers, anyway.
One of those potential purchasers is Ross Levinsohn, who worked hard to buy Hulu when he was running Yahoo in 2011.
Now Levinsohn is working for Guggenheim Partners, the $160 billion fund manager that owns the Los Angeles Dodgers and media assets like the Hollywood Reporter, and industry sources say he has talked about buying the site again.
Other companies that have kicked tires — or indicated an interest in kicking tires — include Yahoo and Amazon, sources say.
No prospective buyer has made anything like a formal offer, though. And no one can buy anything until Hulu owners Disney and News Corp. (News Corp. also owns this Web site) figure out a plan for the video hub.
They've been trying to do that for a couple years, and in the interim there have been some significant changes at the site. Last year early backer Providence Equity Partners sold its stake, and in January CEO Jason Kilar announced his plan to depart.
But Disney and News Corp. still haven't agreed on whether the site should focus on an ad-supported model or a subscription one, and while both have talked about buying out the other partner, those discussions are still "fluid," according to people familiar with the negotiations. (Comcast's NBCUniversal also owns a stake in the site, but gave up its management role a few years ago in a concession to federal regulators.)
And just like 2011, the key issue for any Hulu buyer would be the content licenses Disney and News Corp. are willing to extend to an outsider.
In the past, the two companies were unwilling to offer long-term deals for their content, which meant anyone who bought Hulu was really buying a Web site and a chance to renegotiate for new content deals in a couple years — that is, they weren't buying much.
Maybe that will change when and if Disney and News Corp. resolve their differences. If not, hard to see anyone buying the site this time around, either.

Jennifer Freudenthal's father quietly talked about his daughter, her love of animals and how her death has left a large hole in his heart.
The 50-year-old woman died last year after fighting with her husband, William E. Freudenthal, who in Worcester Superior Court yesterday pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his wife.
Mr. Freudenthal, now 52, pleaded guilty to the charge, which Judge James R. Lemire said was a "just resolution" based on the circumstances surrounding Mrs. Freudenthal's death. Mr. Freudenthal had been indicted on a charge of second-degree murder in the case.
With Mrs. Freudenthal's sisters and father in the courtroom, her husband clearly and crisply said, "Guilty," when asked for his plea on the lesser charge.
"It's very sad. I don't see her anymore," William E. Merriam, father of Mrs. Freudenthal, told Judge Lemire. "It's a big hole in my heart. To see one (of his daughters) go before me, it's very sad."
Mr. Freudenthal was sentenced to serve 3 to 3-1/2 years in prison, with 595 days' credit for time served while awaiting trial.
State police investigators were called to the couple's home at 59 Brookside Ave. in Webster about 1:15 p.m. on March 22, 2011, on a report of a domestic assault and battery.
Troopers learned that Webster police had been sent to the home about 12:35 p.m. that day to assist Internal Revenue Service agents as they seized a classic car owned by the couple, Assistant District Attorney Courtney L. Sans said in court.
The couple's daughter, Ashley, was home during the seizure and videotaped her father's encounter with the IRS agents. The video showed that Mr. Freudenthal was agitated by their presence.
Within minutes of leaving the home, Webster police began receiving 911 hang-up calls from the Freudenthal residence. Officers met the daughter outside the home. She had left after the IRS agents seized the car.
The daughter told police Mrs. Freudenthal was an alcoholic and had begun drinking that day at 9:30 a.m. Mrs. Freudenthal allegedly smashed her husband's guitars after the IRS agents seized the car, Ms. Sans said.
Police found Mrs. Freudenthal on the bathroom floor. Mr. Freudenthal was doing CPR on his wife.
"Mr. Freudenthal explained that he had pushed his wife during an altercation and that she had fallen and possibly hit her head," Ms. Sans said. "A large pool of blood was observed on the floor beneath Jennifer Freudenthal's head and torso and was on Mr. Freudenthal's hands, arms and sweatshirt."
In an interview with state police investigators, Mr. Freudenthal said he had argued with his wife about the seizure of the classic car and the destruction of the guitars. Sometime during the argument Mrs. Freudenthal locked herself in the bathroom. He said his wife came out of the bathroom, bumped him in the hallway, and then he pushed her. Mrs. Freudenthal fell backward into the bathroom, where Mr. Freudenthal believed she hit her head. She became unresponsive after that.
Mr. Freudenthal called police to report what had happened. Mrs. Freudenthal was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed her blood-alcohol content at the time of autopsy was .12, a level considered intoxicated.
"He does regret it. He does accept a measure of responsibility for this," Mr. Freudenthal's defense lawyer, James G. Reardon Jr., said. "He does acknowledge it is a tragedy. He does feel bad for his wife's family and everyone involved."

|Our white wine by Virginia Cellars
It was cooler and rainy this weekend (so lovely), so I was hankering for comfort food. I have a lot of potatoes and squash coming from Dominion Harvest these days, so I thought I'd go for an au gratin. Basically, I wanted something avec fromage.
|Chips! You can see through them!
I sliced up some potatoes with my handy mandolin. I started getting hungry, so I tossed some of the thin potato slices with oil, salt and pepper put them on a baking sheet and threw them in the oven for about 10 minutes while it was preheating. Potato chips go well with newfound white wine and cheese sauce that didn't quite make it into the pan, btw.
|Oh squash, what do we do with you?
2 medium potatoes, sliced into at most 1/8 inch
1 onion, sliced into thin half rings
3 small summer squash, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cream
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Butter a small casserole dish (mine is about 9x5).
Layer the potatoes into bottom of the prepared dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the squash. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and whisk for one minute. Stir in cream. Cook until mixture has thickened (about 2 minutes). Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about another minute. Pour mixture over squash layer.
Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden and bubbling.
